Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance provides care and rescue to newborn and medically-fragile kittens through loving foster homes, strategic partnerships, and community education
At Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance, we specialize in rescuing orphaned, sick, and medically fragile kittens — the ones most shelters aren’t equipped to save. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, we provide expert care to newborn kittens, often just days old, who require around-the-clock support to survive.
Whether it's bottle-feeding newborn kittens, caring for those with severe injuries or illnesses, or stepping in during emergencies like Hurricane Helene, we are always ready to respond. Our team works across Western North Carolina, partnering with shelters, rescues, and community members to save the most vulnerable lives.
We offer lifesaving programs including:
-
Foster care for newborn and weaning kittens
-
Volunteer opportunities
-
Community education and training on orphaned kitten care
Every day, we receive urgent pleas to help kittens who have nowhere else to go. Your support — whether through adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating — allows us to say yes to the next tiny life in need.
Join us in giving kittens their second chance!
